Do you ever get those days when it feels like going to work isn't the most appropriate way to spend your time? I do sometimes - today that feeling descended upon me and I decided to wear it like a warm fucken coat on a cold winters day...that is to say, I decided not to go to work and I felt all warm and fuzzy inside. It's not something I do a lot, I rarely have days off from work, but today...yep, not going...I'm going hunting instead.
Above is where I'm going, although that picture is taken at sunset rather than the super-early morning on which I arrived there to begin my day of hunting...but you get the point I presume. It's glorious.
I decided to go big and brought out some flesh (a couple steaks) that I'll sear on an open fire I build with my own two hands and some other tasty morsels that will make up my lunch, and I'll spend the day spotting, following game, stalking and shooting if targets present themselves. More importantly though, I'll spend the time not thinking about work, out with nature, and taking the time to show myself some self care.
I tend to push the limits of my physical, mental and emotional endurance at work and I pay a price for it; I've been feeling a little detached from my work lately too, (hmm, maybe a change is due), and days like today help me navigate that path, a path I'm not willing to allow to turn into a slippery slope of decline...I'm worth working on and so self care is important. I need days like today, those on which I say, what the fuck, I'm going to do something for me.
What about you?
